Overview
About this bike
Even little rippers can flow the park or hit the dirt jumps thanks to the Method's strong 16-inch wheels. The frame and fork are crafted from reliable chromoly for durability. Plus, the 3-piece chromoly cranks and 36-spoke wheels with a 14mm rear axle can take landing after landing. Tektro has you covered with their powerful U-brake for all the stopping power you'll need. And, the tires hook up great on the trails and off!
